The Combat Vehicles Research and Development Establishment (CVRDE) in the city has embarked on an ambitious mission to develop â€œstealthâ€ battle tanks.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and CVRDE have planned to develop futuristic battle tanks with a lot of modifications, P. Sivakumar, director, CVRDE, told Deccan Chronicle after Sathyabama University conferred an honorary doctorate on him on Thursday.

â€œWe have two varieties of futuristic battle tanks â€” soft kill, which will protect the tank with camouflage and hard kill, which will not only protect our tankâ€ but also fire at enemy tanks, he said.

Well i am with DRDO, if you start early you finish it early, though DRDO is famous for long delays.But if you have to call for foreign help for your projects call it now, why delay?

Yes, and no.

It is pragmatic to get help right away than first try, fail, and then seek help. On the other hand, from a research perspective, it is a bad idea to get a crutch early on. First try, and try long enough, before you give up and seek help.

I must say people in India have been reading such good reports for last 30 years...
DODO is only propaganda,.. bloody sucking money and so far has not proved much...
They sell dreams to threatened Indians.... who dread in their dreams to be enslaved once again...
On ground they are DODOs rather than scientists....

Yes ! how can they fail on it until they start it, so better to start work on it now.If they fail they can ask for foreign help.
